The Rangers have missed out on just about every name on their wish list to this point in the off-season, but the team still has holes to fill and money to spend.

So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that baseball execs think the Rangers are the "best free agent fit" for Nick Swisher, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

Olney reported that "rival evaluators" pegged Texas as the best fit for Swisher, saying that he could serve as both an outfielder and 1st baseman with the Rangers. Olney also noted that the Rangers would have to give up a first-round draft pick in order to sign Swisher as part of MLB's compensation rules.

Swisher, who hit .272/.363/.473 with 24 homers and 93 RBI in New York last year, has been among the most consistent offensive players in baseball over the past six seasons, appearing in at least 148 games and hitting between 22 and 29 homers every season. He's also a switch hitter, which could help balance a Ranger lineup that has been heavy with right-handed hitters in recent years.

The Rangers haven't been linked with Swisher much to this point in the off-season, but rumors figure to pick up now that Josh Hamilton's is off the market. Earlier this off-season, ESPN's Jim Bowden predicted Swisher would end up signing a three-year, $33 million contract.
